Whether we like it or not Rovers' name is on the trophy this year
Possibly, but there is also the alternative narrative, the one that says Leigh's name is 'on the cup'
The narrative that says that as the story of the season (newly promoted side upsetting the odds, successful club re-brand, positive air about them, a feeling of destiny calling) it is somehow written in the stars for Leigh to complete a remarkable twelve months by winning at Wembley?
Think it's a 50/50 call. It could be almost anything from a 30pt Leigh victory to a 30pt win for rovers, and all points in-between!
Having said all that, I'm going for rovers to prevail narrowly, around a 4/6pt win. I've also had a sneaky feeling about them since the start of the season, especially after Good Friday (
), that they would be in one of the major finals, and so it has come to be!!!
